Friends Gift Guide 2023: The Best Merch You Can Buy For Fans Of The Classic TV Show

If you or someone you know is a Friends fan and can’t get enough of the classic TV show, here are some ideas for gifts that are guaranteed to please!

Friends was a very popular show when it aired in the ’90s and 2000s, but when it was added to Netflix and later, Max, the Friends fever only surged, attracting audiences who were too young to watch the show when it originally aired. With its iconic characters, quotable lines, and memorable props and set pieces, it’s become one of the ultimate comfort shows and top comedies of all time.

We searched all of ’90s New York City to bring you the best Friends merch for any fan this season. They vary in price for those White Elephant or Secret Santas at the office, all the way up to a more expensive yet fun leather bag for Friends fashionistas. There’s nothing more relaxing than a Friends marathon, so there are pajamas and coffee cups to get you in the cozy spirit. For fans who prefer their Joeys pint-sized, there are some fun collectibles. And of course, there are tons of fun activities for you to partake in with your own friends.
